...a voice from the darkness....

For me..not completely, unfortunately. I have just a Radeon 9000 Pro card, and this driver is a very little bit slower than the previous one was. It's not serious at all though, and I always update the driver for the videocard..I mean, monthly. As I experienced, there were slower and faster drivers..if one was slower, then the next one was faster, usually. So, maybe the 4.10 will be faster for me... :D Anyway, I'm not sure about updating my drivers monthly is a good thing..maybe it could be useful if I had at least a Radeon 9500 card (so, for a DX9 card)..but under that, I'm not so sure...

In TRAOD, I lost only 1 single FPS in the "paris3.pad" demo, LOL (27 FPS at maximum settings, and no AA with 4xAF)! The other game what I like is PainKiller, and it had some "interesting issues" in the graphics with the 4.8 driver (blinking textures at some places (like when the card is overheated, but I know, it wasn't) http://www.tombraiderforums.com/images/smilies/yikes.gif )..I'm curious about if it has been fixed in this new driver... I also got a bit lower scores in 3DMark2001SE and 3DMark2003 340 Patch, but they also weren't so serious. So, it's slower for me just a very little bit, what I can't feel while I'm playing, and perhaps it's more stable than the previous one was...

However, I still have a problem with GliDOS and TR1+Gold: the game just slows down and skips frames in about every 10 seconds. I don't know if GliDOS 1.29 causes it, or maybe the updated drivers (it was fully okay with GliDOS 1.28 and Catalyst 4.7)..but it's just annoying... :(
